Harry and the "Potter" Twins
Chapter 10: Presents!
~*~Recap!~*~
"Well Harry. I'm surprised, your magic is quite powerful now!" said a voice behind Harry. Harry turned around and gasped. Standing right there in front of him was….
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Standing right there in front of Harry was none other than Harry's Godfather, Sirius Black. "Sirius!" Harry yelled. Before Harry could run over and hug Sirius though Ginny stepped in front of him. She held her hands out as if she was waiting for something. At first Harry was confused but he quickly remembered that he had Betty in his arms. He smiled sheepishly at Ginny while handing Betty over.
He moved around the girls and threw himself at Sirius, who gladly accepted the bear hug Harry gave him. All this had been done in silence watching from the audience(Besides Ginny!). Since they were all watching they noticed that tears welled up in both persons eyes.
This went on for a couple of minutes until the two men pulled away. When they did, they both smiled sheepishly at the other occupants of the room. They all returned it with smiles of their own.
After that a comfortable silence descended on the room, only disturbed by people's breathing or the giggles of the younger twins. That is until someone suddenly popped out of the fire place. This of course made everyone jump into action. Sirius quickly changed into "Snuffles", while almost everyone else had their wands out as fast as possible. But of course Harry beat them all when he had his in his hands before any of them could blink.
"Well what a nice welcome!" Exclaimed a voice. Harry relaxed considerably. He knew that voice. Knew it well. Very well!
"Professor Dumbledore! How good to see you!" Exclaimed Harry putting his wand away considerably slower than the pace he'd brought it out with. Everyone else followed Harry's lead. They all gave him sheepish smiles including Sirius who'd changed back after Harry had said who it was. All but Harry that is. He just gave a cheeky grin. Proud of the fact that they could probably take out any Death Eaters who came.
"So sorry Professor, but better safe then sorry wouldn't you say?" Harry asked. " I agree Harry! I'm actually very proud that you all managed to get your wands out so quickly! And most of you have never really had experience!" Dumbledore exclaimed.
"Oh and sorry about my tardiness!" He continued "I just had to finish up Harry's present" He finished with a smile. As he'd said the last part both he and Sirius had sparkles in their eyes. You could call it a happy or a mischievous look, but it was both combined.
"Well" started Mrs.Weasley "why don't we have cake and then Harry can open his presents?" She finished. Everyone agreed with a "Yes, please!" or a nod of their head. And Harry finished by saying "Thank you Mrs.Weasley!". "Oh Harry! Please call me Molly and Arthur, Arthur!" She exclaimed. "Um ok." Was the reply.
They were soon sitting around the table. All the lights were out so when Molly(A/N I'm sick of writing Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and my computer telling me it's wrong so from now on it's Molly and Arthur! Understood? Good!) came in with the 15 birthday candles lit, it illuminated her face. Everyone started singing "Happy Birthday" to Harry. At that moment he was so happy. If his happiness was a Patronus it would be so bright it would blind people.
When they were done singing Harry made his first wish on a birthday cake. Well that he could remember anyway. He wished for his family, not the Dursley's his actual family, to be happy. And with that he blew the candles out.
Almost an hour later, everyone was heading into the house for Harry to open his presents. They all had had more than one slice of cake. The whole time they were out there, both sets of twins had done things to make people laugh. One time, Fred had made this really funny face. But the best part was when Sky copied it making juice come out of Harry's nose(A/N Have you ever had anything come out of your nose? I have! RICE! :D)!!!
Once they were inside, they made Harry sit on the floor surrounded by his presents. Everyone else sat around him in a circle. As Harry was waiting for everyone to get comfortable Harry looked around at everyone. These people were his family. They may not have been his blood relatives but they sure as heck were better than his actual relatives.
Harry smiled as Molly and Arthur insisted he open their present first. When Harry opened it, his smile grew larger. Inside the box was a new watch. He laughed when he read the words "waterproof" on the watch. Molly smiled.
"Oh it gets better!" She said. She came over and took the top off. Underneath there was a picture of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny. It was a picture they'd taken sometime last year. HE smiled. They looked so carefree then.
Before he could think too much though the older twins practically bounced over to him. "Ours next!" They yelled in unusion. Harry laughed but looked at the box warily. "Oh come on!" Said Fred. "Yeah, Mom's here why would we give you anything that exploded?" Finished George. Molly gave them a stern look but it didn't have much affect as the twins were looking at Harry.
Harry opened the box, still expecting the box to suddenly blow up but nothing happened. He sighed in relief. He looked in and got a look of amusement on his face. Inside were various products, from Canary Cremes to Blue Haired Pops. He was curious as to what they did but decided he'd try them on someone else. So he put the box to the side.
Then Hermione and Ron handed him his present proclaiming that they'd both chipped in on it. When Harry opened it there was a picture album. On the cover it said "Hogwarts 1st through 4th year. Harry opened the book to see the three of them at age 11. Harry laughed. They looked so small then! As he looked through the pictures he laughed at most of them. One in particular actually made him laugh so hard he almost wet himself. Somehow someone had gotten a picture of Malfoy the "bouncing ferret"!
After looking through the album, Harry set it aside. Sirius then handed him a present. When he opened it he once again saw an album, but this one looked old and faded. On the cover it read "Hogwarts 7th year to baby Harry's first birthday. When Harry opened the book he looked into the faces of his parents. They were yelling at each other but he couldn't see what they were saying. He looked through this album to. When he came to the last page 1 silent tear slipped down his face. In the last picture there were 6 people. Harry, Lily, James, Sirius, Remus and Arabella. They all looked so happy!
Harry was suddenly shaken from his trance by the cries of Betty and Sky. It seemed they were upset. Automatically Harry gently placed the books off to the side and went to them. He picked them both up, cradling one in each arm. They almost immediately stopped crying.
Harry brang them back to the floor with him. He made two soft cushions come to either side of him. He then put a twin on each side of him. He then turned to Dumbledore who gave him his last present. It was in an envelope.
Harry opened the letter. It read:
Dear Harry,
I hope you like your present. I've been trying to make it happen for a long time. But you made it much easier for me. Happy Birthday,
Albus Dumbledore
Harry was confused. What on earth was Dumbledore talking about? He then noticed another piece of parchment fall out. Harry read it and gasped!
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
